Top 11 GOOD Things from the Star Wars Prequels 

The prequels...

Ewan McGregor. He practically carried these films along with Ian Mcdirmid. Especially in episode III. I really hope there will be an Obi Wan spin off.

I don’t understand why people don’t like qui gon Jin, I felt like Liam neeson played a damn good Jedi

In defense of the awkward love banter : anakin has been spending years of his life with old men and has virtually no experience talking to girls, especially not ones he likes. It makes perfect sense for him to be an awkward teenage boy

I've never really met a star wars fan irl that hated the prequels as much as its portrayed online, I personally love them

i would add the Order 66 scene to the list

Fun Fact: Ewan McGregor was extremely into the Star Wars series, even before the prequels were announced to be filmed. One of the greatest reasons for this was the fact that his Uncle was actually in the original trilogy, acting as Luke's good friend from Tatooine, who it is said Luke spent much time with. By the time the filming of the prequels was announced, Ewan was already a well known actor. Once he heard the news, he was ecstatic, extremely excited. Once he got the role of Obi Wan, he did every little thing he could in order to mirror the younger looks and actions of the original actor for Obi Wan. Ewan went all out, even using the original actor's image to form a look for Obi Wan slowly throughout the prequels. There's a video with an interview with Ewan that will explain more than I can.

Fun fact: Ray park (darth maul) doesn't blink throughout the phantom menace apart from when he dies

I don't care what anyone says, I really like general Grievous. He has such a cool design and voice.

Number 12: The Order 66 scene

2015: the Star Wars prequels are trash lmao

Best thing about the prequels is the music. Absolutely breathtaking.

11: High ground

I LOVE Hayden as Anakin. George Lucas said he casted him because, while he is young, he also has a James Dean troubled-young-man vibe to him--a dark side--and I totally agree. Let us not forget that James Dean was hella whiny and mopey in his movies, yet he is still considered a screen legend and an icon.

"Why couldn't he just use his powers to give his enemies a heart attack?"

100% agree with your Hayden Christianson points ! He was perfect as the angry brooding raging Vader !

I...actually loved the prequels.

Also worth noting that the scores by John Williams are absolutely phenomenal. "Duel of the Fates" still stands out for me.

i feel like when anakin went berserk after his mom died was an amazing scene

Honorable mention: Darth Maul. He's one of the best villains in the franchise. He's intimidating, memorable, and his lightsaber's awesome. I was surprised that he returned in Clone Wars.
